This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFATORY NOTE.
THERE must of necessity be a good deal of monotony in the
introductory notices that I write upon the smaller collections
of manuscripts in Cambridge Colleges. In most cases the burden
is the same. "This and that College," one has to say, "once
possessed a large and interesting library which has now entirely
disappeared ; and its present possessions in the way of manuscripts
are lamentably scanty." Of Clare College this is undoubtedly
true. The Library was quite large and remarkable. We have a
partial Catalogue of it, never yet published, and we have also notes
made by Leland and Bale upon books which they saw there —
many of which are not mentioned in the Catalogue. Much could
be said, and something will, I hope, be said of the Old Library :
but I must in this place concern myself only with what I find at
present on the shelves. Thirty-one volumes is the total, and they
may be classified as follows :
Biblical. One Latin Bible of the ordinary type, and a Greek
Lectionary.
Liturgical An interesting Psalter from the neighbourhood of
Peterborough, four Horae (foreign), a Breviary of Norwich diocese,
a good collection of Devotions (English), and a late Spanish service
book.
Patristic and Medieval Theology, Tracts of Augustine (the
oldest of the manuscripts), Smaragdus ; three volumes of Gregory
(one from Worcester), a late Gelasius Cyzicenus, two collections of
sermons, a comment on part of the Old Testament, a common
tract of Grosseteste, and a moral Dictionary.
Classical. A good but imperfect copy of Justinus and Orosius ;
another, later, of Quintilian and Aulus Gellius : a volume of Greek
grammar, and a late version of some tracts of Xenophon.
General Literature. Thomas of Capua, and Geoffrey of Mon-
mouth, both probably from St Albans. An astronomical book
once the property of Gonville and Caius College : a volume of
medicine, a work of Pomponazzo, Legge's Richard III. In French
there are fragments of the Roman des Romans, and of a metrical
life of Thomas a Becket
The best of the books are the gifts of Dr John Heaver. Of so
miscellaneous a character is the whole collection that any general

remarks upon it are hardly possible. The student will readily pick
out from the few pages of description the points which may prove
attractive to him.
Haenel {Catalogi^ p. 781) has a list of manuscripts seen by him
in this library which I here repeat, adding the numbers by which
they are now known.

Schenkl {Biblioth, Pair, LaL Brit nos. 2879-2882) gives some
notes drawn from Haenel on these MSS. which he had not himself
seen.
At Clare College, Uffenbach {Merkwurdige Reisen^ III. 27) after
speaking of the printed books notes these manuscripts :
1. Vol in fol. membr. B. Turpini Archiep. Historia

of Monmouth)

The following inscription in a large set hand is on f. 147 :
Ihesus est amor meus.
ho that lust for to loke
or for to rede on this boke,
Be he of cyte toun or thrope
Pray he for my lady scrope.
And thinke )e neuir to done amys
But |>enke on hym that gaf 30W this.
For ihesu loue haue hjnm in mynde
that this sette on )owre boke be hynde.
To what foundation the book belonged I cannot say with
certainty. The indications are that it was given by Lady Scrope
to a monastery probably in Yorkshire where St Honoratus of
Lerins was held in veneration, and that it belonged once to a man
called Edward (see on ff. 137, 146).

I cannot get much light on the persons named in the
Kalendar.
The Commission of the Peace was issued to William de Raundes
in 1327 and 1331 for Rutlandshire.
EUesworth can only be Elsworth in Cambridgeshire which
belonged to Ramsey Abbey.
It seems that Raunds Church belonged to the College of
Newark or of the Annunciation at Leicester, where Henry Duke
of Lancaster was buried.
The presence of S. Kineburga in the Kalendar shows the
neighbourhood of Peterborough unequivocally.

There is another copy in Caius College, but it has not I believe

Portfolio has mentioned it. The parchment in which this MS. is
found is part of a Missal." The binding alluded to is now gone:
the book is in modem calf. I do not find any MS. of the play

The fragment is noticed, but not identified, in Hardy's Cata-

fragment of the metrical life by Benedict the monk (/. c, p. 355):
the last three lines at least are identical. But in this MS., those
which precede have been altered to make the name of the scribe
appear as that of the author. So says M. Paul Meyer, to whom
I submitted the text : the last lines are :

This is written in 33 lines to a page in a hand like the best of

initial. The prologue ends on f. 145^:

Large initial (Canterbury style) in white, red, green and purple,

The chapters have smaller initials : c. iv. has king with sword and

After c. vi these initials seem to be all plain.
The treatise ends on f. 73, which is mutilated :

Only fragments of the next two leaves are left.
On f. 75 3 and 74 are notes in a smaller and later hand. The first
is a disquisition on forged letters such as St Paul mentions in
2 Thess. The relics of it begin thus :

Given by John Heaver. 2 fo. gen tern paganorum.
The flyleaf, which is cut, and illegible on the recto, is from a
book oi Halimotaey held in the reign of Henry HI. : the writing is
of cent. XV early (.^). The name of the place where the Halimotae
were held appears to be Tittenhanger (Herts.). This name and
that of Wymundham occur in the text Both places belonged to
St Albans. It seems a fair inference that the MS. is from the
St Albans library.

There is an initial, of excellent work, representing Turpin throned
full face, in mitre and blue cope, with cross-staff and book.

For a full account of this romance see H. L. D. Ward's Cata-
logue of Prose Romances in the British Museum^ I. 546.
The romance proper consists of 34 chapters, to which 3 sup-
plementary chapters are commonly added. In these there is
some variation: the three in the Clare MS. are found in
Harley 6358 (and elsewhere). This Harleian MS. corre-
sponds rather closely with ours, in date and contents.

The initial to the prologue represents a king with crown and
sceptre in red mantle over blue, seated full face. It is of
excellent style. On the lower margin of f. 36 a is a most
excellent large drawing in outline. It represents Con-
uuenna, the mother of Belinus and Brennius, greeting the
latter when he had come to fight his brother. On the
extreme Z. is Brennius *s horse: shield, sword, and crowned
helmet on the ground. Then Brennius in mail and surcoat
embraced by his mother (who is crowned), while with one
arm she bares her breast. Belinus in mail advances from R. :
shield, sword and crowned helmet lie behind him. On R. he
is seen again in helmet on horseback, another horseman by him.
The lower margin of f. 53, which probably had a picture, has
been cut off.
On 56 b are the prologues to the Prophecies of Merlin.
The Prophecies begin on f. 57.
Ends on f. 75^ : in latinum transferre curaui.
Then follows a note on the duration of the reigns of English
kings from Alfred to Henry III., whose length of reign is
left blank.
Then a couplet (xiv, xv):
Vxores trine domui sunt causa mine
Tollantur bine sunt ad mala mox resupine.
An erased couplet follows.

"Ex doqo Timothei Burrage huius Collegii socii A.D. 1663.*'
Qrt'jL'flj^eaf is stuck a faint label :
Clement (?) Kitchingman wrote roe
Sept. (?) 2, 1661.
Before the text is this entry :

dat T. B.
At the beginning are two leaves of English rather badly written,
being a plea for the observation of Church festivals, written under
the Commonwealth. It seems to me that this, and not the main
text, is what Kitchingman wrote. The hand of the volume looks
earlier (xvi).

On the flyleaf is a good deal of writing :
1. Table of contents (xvii).
2. Some English writing (xv) almost totally erased.
3. (xv) Annumerauerunt beniuolenciam circumspeccionis dinumerauerunt.
4. (xii, xiii) a set of verses (58) on the contents of the Books of Maccabees.
They begin thus:
I cito perge uiam dare sacra iube mathathiam (1 Mace. ii. i5sqq.)
Hi proficiscuntur et regis iussa sequuntur (ibid.)
Ferto diis thura linquens legalia iura (ii. 17)
Non ego thura dabo nee legis cita negabo (ii. 19)
Mactantem porcum mathathias mittit ad orcum (ii. 23)
Pergunt ad montes isti (iusti?) linquunt quoque sontes (ii. 28).
The form of these lines suggests at once that they were written to accompany a
set of illustrative pictures: and this turns out to be actually the case. At the
end, in a later (xiii) hand is written:
Hii sunt versus golie super picturam machabeorum.
I do not know of any evidence that there was at Worcester (whence, as we shall
see, the MS. comes) a set of pictures of the Maccabees, but in the cloister or
in some hall of the Priory there may well have been such a thing. In the
Painted Chamber at Westminster was a famous example.
The name Golias as the author of the verses is interesting. There is, as is well-
known, a considerable mass of verse current under this name, notably the
Apocalypsis Goliof, The author of this poem was according to tradition
Walter Mapes, Archdeacon of Oxford, and Rector of Wcstbury-on-Trym (no
